As it fizzes in your brain
You tell yourself “never again”
Lay the groundwork, making friends
I won't be on my own again
Fate is thrown in all directions
Not one speck of the stress you create
Has any real meaning
Has any real meaning
Shaking hands with a mermaid/siren-thing
Ready to learn the notes she can sing
You can't control how they make you feel
But can control how you act upon that
She could sense
My turbulence
Her words were clear and strong
Unlike mine
No-one will ever know
What her life's really like
She has no need to prove
No need to prove herself
To anyone
